Twelve months ago, HOLO 2 came rolling off the press.
And what a year it’s been! Facts, figures, voices—and free shipping for the next 24 hours!


A year is an eternity on the internet. Then again, absorbing a 200+ page magazine takes time. Twelve months ago, HOLO 2 began arriving at homes and studios around the world. Shipped to 1,080 cities in 59 countries (and counting), it now shares desks with new projects in the making and shelves with classics at museums, galleries, and libraries. It drives conversations at meet-ups, festivals, and universities, and the wider it circulates, the more its impact can be felt.
 
As we hit the release’s anniversary, about 80% of our HOLO 2 stock is sold (no small feat for any independent publication!) and development of HOLO 3 is underway. To mark the occasion, we’ve combed our records for facts and figures to share with you here: click “Read more” for a thorough take on HOLO 2’s aftermath – and thank you for what has likely been our busiest year yet!

Ad Inifitum – A machine parasite that harvests human energy

Hatched at the Human Computer Interaction Lab at the Hasso Plattner Institute, Ad Infinitum is a “parasitical” machine that, quite literally, lives off of human-generated energy.
